The set on its own is a trip down memory lane for all Lego fans, especially those of the castle series.

The construction keeps you engaged for many hours/days, depending on your building pace. The set is filled with details and building techniques, making the whole experience interesting at every stage of construction. The number of pieces is satisfactory for a set of this size.

The price is a bit on the high side compared to the other two options currently available from Lego in the castle category, the medieval blacksmith and the medieval castle. Of course, the figures included in the set play a big role in this price, as most of them are new productions that are only available in this specific set, increasing the overall cost.

Although the set is intended for the adult Lego audience, it includes many playable functions that may be of interest to younger ages as well, many of which are modern reproductions of the classic castles the company has built.

Overall, it is a nice building experience, with nostalgia and the effort to satisfy the adult audience who have been impressed by Lego's castle series as the dominant elements.
